1 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, XVILLIE HARRY Jo1-r1vsoN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Chicago, in the county of Cookv and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Globe- Valves, of which the following is a specification. 1

My invention is an improvement in globe ,10 valves,and the invention. has for its object to provideatvalve of the character $13601 fied, so arranged that whenever the valve is opened or closed, it will be turned or ground on its seat,to provide for an inter mittent regrinding on the contact surfaces of the valve and seat, and wherein the grind.-

ing pressure is for a portionof the time during the opening and closingof the valve under full pressure. p p In the drawings: Figure 1 is avertical section showing the valve in open position; F ig. 2 is a similarview, showing the valve} in closed position; Fig. 3 is a section on the l i line 3-3 of 2; Fig. 4 is a front view of the valve and stem, and Fig. 5 is a similar view of the threaded sleeve, with parts in section. a i In the present embodiment of the invention .a valve casing l is provided, having so its ends internally threaded. at 2, and having a nipple 3 at its topand intermediate its ends, the saidnipplebeing also internally threaded. The valve easing has the usual diaphragm 4, aportion of which is in a ssplane through the axis of the casing, and

this portion of the diaphragm has the seat 5 for the valve.

The seat is beveled or counter-bored at its H upper end, as indicated M6, and thevalve 7 is shaped to fit the seat, that is, the valve has a beveled portion 8 which cotiperates.

with the beveled portion 6 of the seat. The valve is on the lower end of the stem 9, and this stem hasthe usual reduced polygonal I t5 portion 10 for receiving the hub of a hand wheel 11 and a threaded axial stem 12 above the polygonal portion for receiving a nut 13 to hold the hand wheel in place. v

A casing 14 is threaded into thenipple. 3,

i j t0 and this casing has an internally threaded portion l5near the end which engages the GLOBE-VALVE.

nipple. The stem 9 extends through the mediate its ends and just above the threaded portion 15 when the stem is in place, and

"this collar is alimiting member to limit the upward movement of a sleeve 18 which is mounted on the stem between the valve and the collar. .The sleeve has a coarse spiral thread 19, and the thread 15 is of the same Y pitch asthe thread 19, and cooperates therewithto constrain the sleeve to move longitudinally of the casing l4, when the sleeve is turned with respect to the casing. This "sleeve 18 has a. head 20 at its lower end, and the head is provided. with oppositely arrangedlugs 21, the said lugs extending par allel'w'ith the axis of'the stem 9. The valve lugs extending upwardly, and being adapted to engage the lugs 21 of the sleeve 18,

7 is also provided "with lugs 22, the said under conditions to be presently described.

A coil spring 23 encircles the stem between the headQO of the sleeve and the valve i and the spring acts normally to press the valve on its seat. I o

The operation of the improvement is foilows: With the parts in the position of i Fig. 1, when it is desired to close the, valve the handwheel 11 is turned to th'left; The lugs 22 on the valve will engage the lugs 21 on the sleeve, and the sleeve" will be. rotated in a direction to cause itto mo've down- Ward. As the sleeve moves'downward, the

valve Will-also move downward until it engages its seat. Aiterthe valve is engaged with itsseat it must he turned furtherin order to provide suficient compression to the spring 23 to preventleakage, and dur ing this turning of the valve, itis ground on its seat, being held tight on the seat by the compressed spring 23. J VV'th the parts in the position of Fig. 2,

that is, with the valve closed, to open the .valve the hand wheel 11 is turned to the.

right. The first movement of the hand wheel grinds the valve on its seat, under full pressure of the spring 23, and this grinding operation continues until the sleeve sion of the spring23, but the grinding oper-j ation. on the valve continues, under gradually decreasing pressure, until the valve leaves its seat. The upward movement of the sleeve 18 lifts the valvethrough the 'engagement of the upper end of the sleeve with the collar "17, and this collar "is" tothe stem as indicated at- 24.

lWhether opening hr closing the. valve, there is alwaysv a grinding movement of pinned some extent under the full eoinpression of the spring 23, and. further grinding move-- ment gradually increasing in intensity during the closingofthe'valve and graduallyv decreasingin intensity during the, opening of the valve, and because of this grinding will always .fit perfectly and "trnlvto prevent any leakage past the valve.
